Greenskeepers is forever changing as a meeting of minds and a catalog of music. The name was founded by childhood friends James Curd and Nick Maurer in 1999. James and Nick grew up skateboarding together in Chicago. Nick bounced around local punk bands while James was djing in Chicago clubs and raves when he was only 15 years old.

At the age of 18 James built up a music studio and began producing Chicago house. His first release came out on the french label Basenotic in 1999. Soon after James released “Whats Your Man Got To Do WIth Gan” on Classic Records. He released it under the new Greenskeepers name and forever left it’s mark in the electronic music world. The stand out song on the EP was “Low and Sweet” which was named one of the “Festive Fifty by British dj John Peel. This helped make James an international Dj that was constantly traveling to spread the Greenskeepers sound.

In early 2001 Nick and James went in the studio together to record. The result of this effort was the single “Should I Sing Like This?” It was a international club hit and showcased Nicks unique vocal stylings.

After the success of “Should I Sing Like This” Nick made the big move over to Heidelberg Germany. This left James on his own to build on the Greenskeepers legacy.

It was at this time in 2002 that James released swing house music under the Greenskeepers name. “Low and Sweet” was a fore shadowing of the new style that would take the dance floors over. He also established a new record label “G-Swing” specifically dedicated to this sound.

It's chill, but there's a reason you only have 240,000 listeners. Not much of a climax in most your songs, and if you can mix up your voice a bit.

I "discovered" them few days ago and just can't stop listening, they are incredible. I especially like that electro-rock stuff. songs have that dark note and lyrics are versatile and just marvelous. Although I listen various types of music I can surely say that Greenskeepers are band that will stay in my library and going only up on "listening ladder" ;) On some kind of scale from 1-10 I would give them firm 9, not 10 because 10 is reserved for some kind of god-like music that I haven't heard before :D

"It rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again". A song based on the transexual serial killer in Silence of the Lambs - brilliant! (Another song I heard via Australia's Triple J - hurray for Triple J)
